The Outer Worlds 2 Is The Most Expensive Xbox Game

While Xbox announced the release dates of many games on its new showcase, one detail that drew attention was its pricing policy. The most expensive game on Xbox was The Outer Worlds 2, and this pricing may be the harbinger of a new era on the console side. The fact that the price was determined as $80 for pre-orders opened on the game’s Steam page caused astonishment among players.

The Most Expensive Game on Xbox Became The Outer Worlds 2

The price of The Outer Worlds 2 was listed as $80, a first in Xbox history. This was a concrete example that the price increases previously announced by the company would be reflected in games. The fact that the production developed by Obsidian and fueled by the success of the first game came out with such a high price created controversy, especially for a game with limited potential to reach a wide audience.

Another interesting detail is that Ninja Gaiden 4, which was introduced at the same event, will be offered for sale at a lower price. When the Steam pages of both games are compared, it is seen that Ninja Gaiden 4 does not come with an $80 price tag. This situation has raised questions about the criteria by which Xbox determines its pricing policies.

The fact that The Outer Worlds 2 will be included in Game Pass stands out as a great advantage for users who want to try the game. In this way, many players will be able to access the game without being affected by the high price tag. However, this development may be a sign that Xbox may make the $80 level the standard for its future major productions. The ease of access offered by Game Pass may somewhat reduce the reactions that this new pricing policy will create.
